Jasmin St. Claire says that a porner named Brenda Grislaw (Sindee Coxx), with a P.O. Box in Northridge, has been leaving death threats on Jasmin's answer machine. Jasmin says "Brenda, I'm ready for you."

www.geneross.com reports that a porn girl Roxy who used the named Galactic Galixina, took her life last Thursday night. It was the result of a self-inflicted overdose. Roxy had apparently been experiencing great pain due to a series of breast surgeries that had gone awry.

Rio's Guy writes: "Hey Luke - How about Alicia Rio (Carmen)? She called me several times this weekend and was very high. She said she just came from a court appointed AA meeting and was now ready to get f---ed Up. She said that she is staying at a sober living home for the next 18 months and has fines to pay of over $4,000 from her last DUI - I've been told by a good source that she is really living with her x-husband John (Steve Houston) in the San Bernadino area. She claims that she is totally out of the Adult biz and wants to distance herself from all the bad people in it that ruined her life. If you believe that, I've got a bridge.... Take care."

Jenna Jameson Controversy

Jew born turned Pentacostal preacher turned 'official magician' of porn, Tommy Nugent, writes: I'm a performer (magician/comedian) who's played some industry parties and I formerly ran a topless club which brought in a lot of feature acts. A little knowledge, but not much of an insider.

Anyway, Jameson reputation for being a pain in the ass procedes her to clubs. But I found this: money is her priority (of course) and she will fight to get (and keep) as much as she can. When not needing to fight for her cash she is genuinely nice. Eg., she will not allow house dancers to take pictures with her for free, but she is friendly and treats the girls fine. She'll be tough as balls with club managers about the cut of her money they take - but is pretty easy to get along with personally.

Nice, up front to fans, though will occassionally do the 'eye roll' as the weird ones walk away. And has been known to flip off a crowd if they don't cheer loudly enough. She parties a little more than she lets on in the phone interview with you, but I would bet against her being an addict (of drugs or alc.). Basically the things she gets s--- for (standing up for herself and running her own show) or the things that more porn girls should do. She'll be fine.

Cameron Chase of Sinurgy Films writes about Jenna: I have a friend named Jimmy"O," he has 'Lou Gerrigs'disease and is limited to a wheel chair. Jimmy has always been a huge Jenna fan, and I found out that she would be doing a signing at Blowout Video Store down in San Diego. This was around the end of October beginning of September. I contacted the manager, Noleen, and she in turn contacted I believe Joy King at Wicked Pictures. We where trying to get her to meet with Jimmy but, unfortunately her schedule was not accommodating. Eventually we came up with a plan that worked for everyone, she would meet Jimmy before they opened the doors to the public. Luke, let me tell you she was great, not only did she look fabulous but, she absolutely made Jimmy's day. Jenna sat on his lap in his wheel chair and posed for pictures and signed every one of his videos and Polaroid's, she even gave him an 8x10 and picked out her favorite movie for him.

Keep in mind that earlier that week she had been a judge at "Showgirl of the year" contest in Vegas (I was their) and then went to feature out in Arizona. She had just arrived from Arizona earlier that day I believe. Further more, she had just finished a radio interview out in front of Blowout video moments earlier. Luke, I don't know if you're aware of the demands on someone of Jenna's caliber but, it is very hectic. I know, I used to be a male dancer and I have also helped out a friend of mine named Harlee, when she goes out on the road to feature dance. I was just out at the "Miss Nude Florida" contest in Tampa. I can tell you that there is no way these women are doing drugs and performing on stage at the levels I have witnessed. I know, I have been there and it would be impossible to do what "Spinney" says Jenna was doing with Vicodine and Vodka and then performing on stage. Jenna is very petite and the girl would be comatose if that was the case. I can say that "Spinney" was very rude with the management and owner of Blowout Video and I did hear him talking about formerly being with Motley Crue and how well he was connected in that industry. We felt that he was doing far to much damage to Jenna's business. If you're going to be in this industry know your place, stars are stars and management is just that, stay in the background and be professional or go home. Luke, after what I witnessed first hand I find it hard to believe that "Spinney" is telling the truth, has to be more to the story.

I do hope that you will use this story, if not as a vote of confidence for Jenna, than at least to show people that there are some people in this business that still have a heart. I would also like to thank Stacy Valentine who allowed us to make a personal greeting video for Jimmy when she came down to do a signing in March, thanks Stacy!

Porner Lynne L-patin writes Luke: You should be spanked. Or, at the very least, smacked around.

The chat with you and Greg Z and Jim was very interesting. I think I'm a
lot more clear now on what the "controversy" is, and I tend to agree with
them, your mom, et al. And you would not be accepted by any religious
community should they know what you currently do -- why do you think people are so hesitant to be brought back out into the light?

You are very sensitive to that which happens to you, but oblivious to the
feelings you cause others to have.

You stretch your morality to suit yourself, but retreat behind absolutes
when you need a place to hide.

Bad little six year old boy. Vermillion journalism for the sake of ratings?
Or a greedy little boy's mistake?

Or do you feel that you've been exploited? And how does that feel?

Luke: "Porn is lucky to have me around, being so objective and all and
placing nothing above my responsibility as a journalist."

Lyne: For someone who claims to have no energy, you sure make a helluva lot of trouble and do an awful lot of writing, and even the mistakes are interesting. However, I feel as if I just had an ice cube dropped down my back. You can't help making trouble. You CAN'T be good. You like the death threats, because you believe you deserve them, because you know how bad you are and how bad you wish you could be.

I am an atheist and an anarchist and a pornographer and am far more moral
than you are. Go figure.

Are you mean and manipulative or just self-sabotaging?

Malcom responds to Luke's comment about the Jenna debacle: >Luke may have been terribly wrong in recklessly publishing Rich's >charges, but he doesn't yet apologize. If the charges are totally >baseless as now alleged, then in a few days Jenna and company will be >able to laugh them off. >If the charges have truth to them, then they might spur inner change. >Let porners realize that Luke seeks out those who mistreat others and >he delights in humiliating them on his site. I wish to comfort the >afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Malcom: This is the first statement on your website that really bothers me due to its lack of regard for the truth. It seems more than "seek(ing) out those who mistreat others and delight(ing) in humiliating them on his site" you're seeking out those who mistreat others and printing their venom verbatim- No fact checking involved. "Afflicting the comfortable" is a pretty poor reason for this shoddy journalism. I'm not defending Jenna J. and other porners as much as attacking your half-assed article. I've seen you write better than this and expect it of you. Hoping that someone will "laugh off" charges of being a drugged-out, lying drunk slut (and cheap to boot) is a really poor excuse for not fact checking. Looks like you're jumping to the top of the list of those that mistreat others and you're humiliating only yourself in the process.
